Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's: Contemporary Chronicles

NYC: The dark shaded one (that's Mr. Lagerfeld for anyone who pondered the thought) will make a personal appearance at Macy's Herald Square in Manhattan for the anticipated launch of his contemporary collection. H&M, eat your heart out - tsk, tsk. The collection will showcase 45 pieces, all of which will carry the designer’s signature blend of sophistication with a rocker edge priced on average from $50 to $170. Think a tailored tuxedo dress collectible t-shirts, jackets mixed with crocodile print, and chic leggings among others. Will you be watching or waiting - we have mixed emotions about this one...stay tuned, we may sneak over and bring you live coverage.

Although we're keeping mum, we will say smart business move on the part of both companies. Collaborations, especially with better designers seem to be working well for department stores.
